Family meals

There are so many sticky sweet versions out there (on here as well as everywhere else) especially creeping towards Pancake Day that I felt like a fluffy stack of savoury ones was my mission to perfect this year And I absolutely love these. Serve them with roasted vegetables and a […]

All the comfort and cosiness of a baked, oozy lasagne, but with bags more vegetable goodness and none of the refined flour stodginess. First make the meat sauce. Slice the garlic and onion finely, add the oil to a large casserole dish, and along with the carrots, and […]

Cosiest of comforting bowls to warm up a wintry evening. You can easily omit the sausages and pancetta and make this a really tasty vegetarian dish too. Warm the olive oil in a large casserole dish. Add the onions, cumin and coriander powder, carrots, celery and salt. Cook for […]

Happiest bowl of rainbow deliciousness. This is pretty much handsfree and so full of goodness you’ll be warding off all the bugs going around. Peel and dice beetroot, butternut squash and parsnip into 2 inch chunks and place onto a lined baking. Drizzle over the olive oil, sumac and […]

These may be your new best friends. I’m never excited about a mound of potatoes to peel, chop and then boil and fiddle with after. But I love a crispy potato, and when I first saw these in an American magazine I knew they were the way forward. They are […]

The perfect combo of being a pretty impressive number to have for a big festive event, as well as being chock full of goodies to keep you on top of your game. And you can cut lots of corners if you need to by buying the pastry ready made. Hope […]

The best, fastest and most powerful punch of green goodness that’s so totally adaptable it can go on toast, makes a mean addition to soup, with goats cheese on a crostini as a canapé and in its original incarnation, to add to a bowl of pasta and make as […]

So many flavours and delicious ways with everything in Marrakech this week, that I had to try this out for myself after eating so many of these in the last few days. This is super simple and all my crew adored it. Tip everything into a large mixing bowl and […]

There are many of these around, but I always tinker with them, and this is my all time favourite that’s zesty and bright but juicy and creamy too. Takes no time to make and one of this things you can NOT buy in a pot again after tasting the difference […]

Most kids seem to love a little hit of asian flavours, and these have been a winner for last minute suppers, and quick lunches for me, for a long time now. I play around with ingredients and quantities but this core recipe is a the bomb and I hope you […]

Summery fresh and super fast to whizz together, this is just as great warm with pitta as it is cold the next day with carrots and cucumber. Make the most of the broad bean harvest they’re not here that long and they taste so great with a little love and […]

In a mad rush to get a picnic together this morning, without the time to spend drizzling oil and making mayo, this came together. The dressing is instant, and beyond delicious! My husband crowned it the best potato salad he’s ever eaten. A creamy, rich and zingy salad with so much […]
